Mahavir Singh Narwal had said this in November last year, his voice cracking.
As a ferocious second wave of the coronavirus pandemic erupted in India earlier this year, the 71-year-old retired professor could not meet his only daughter Natasha, one of India’s numerous political prisoners.
Narwal died on Sunday – awaiting his daughter’s release from a jail in capital New Delhi – after he contracted COVID-19 and was hospitalised in the northern Haryana state.
As her father’s condition deteriorated in hospital, Natasha filed a bail plea seeking release to look after her ailing father. But it was too late.

Mahavir Singh Narwal said in November last year that his voice cracked.
When the second hard wave of the coronavirus pandemic began in India, the 71-year-old retired teacher was unable to meet her only daughter Natasha, one of India’s many political prisoners.
Narwal died on Sunday – waiting for his daughter to be released from prison in the New Delhi capital – after being hired by COVID-19 and hospitalized in the northern state of Haryana.
As her father’s condition at the hospital worsened, Natasha presented a guarantee to demand her freedom to care for her sick father. But it was too late.
